Why Are Pharmaceutical Drugs So Expensive in America?

One of the best episodes of ELECTile Dysfunction yet! Ashton is joined by one of his favorite authors, Gerald Posner, the author of numerous best-sellers such as Mengele: The Complete Story, Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald, and the Assassination of JFK, and his latest, Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America.

Ashton and Gerald engage in a fascinating discussion regarding the largely untold origins of the pharmaceutical industry. In their discussion, they cover how Pharma became so large, the industry's biggest scandals, how the opioid epidemic began and who is to blame, the Sackler family's role in creating the modern drug industry and Oxycontin, why drug prices are so high in the United States, and much more.

Ashton also inquires about Gerald's assessment of the Kennedy Assassination conspiracies, such as the CIA conspiracy/multiple shooter theory popularized by Oliver Stone in JFK and his most recent documentary.
